FIRST FINAL TASK REVIEW

Image
I used iMovie for editing, and it took me approximately two hours to finish. Since I had recorded everything on my iPhone, editing was simple. This is because I didn't need to transfer the clips between devices. However, I would advise someone to utilize iMovie on a Mac. This is because I found it difficult to divide and separate clips when editing on my phone. To make editing easier and provide a more seamless editing experience, you can move film from your iPhone to a Mac. It also took a lot of patience and accuracy because I found it quite difficult to zoom in on every detail of a certain clip and then cut or trim the portions that I didn't want. I used iMovie's "Blast" filter in the scene where one of the actors is confused by the smell of a burning candle. I chose to do this since it gave the scene a more somber appearance and would be noticed by the audience. This, makes it appear more effective than usual. For me, evaluating a project's opening scene i

PEER FEEDBACK BLOG FT

 I asked colleague Kayla to review and take notes on our progress for evaluation purposes. Her precise words are as follows: "I absolutely loved the title, Housekeeper, I just feel like it gave a suspenseful vibe like The Beekeeper. It was a type of one-word yet not a one-word title, and it made it very interesting. I also liked the slanted title design. However for the designs, instead of three, I wish it was two because I feel like the two bold choices, to use the simple bold with the more slanted one, and not the one all over the place. I liked the plot, it was pretty good. But you know, this is a high school film, and productions are not too perfect. Besides that, it's a really good film. It used a good amount of conventions. Definitely make sure to redo that opening focal point, to make it more clear that this is where the scene is taking place. Make sure that the audience knows what they are watching." The speaker expresses admiration for the title "Housekeeper

RE-SHOOT/EDIT FT BLOG

At this point, my partner and I have around three days of filmmaking experience combined. However, our sequences have been plagued by numerous hiccups and errors. I get a little tired of having to make modifications all the time. Still, upholding this consistency is essential to improving the caliber of our writing. Together, my partner and I came up with a list of necessary changes, which included honing the character's nonverbal growth. I stressed in a recent blog post how crucial it is for our performers to delve deeper into character attributes and fully immerse themselves in the context of our concept. This fits in with our goal of making points clearly and moving the plot along, which is centered on instilling a sense of mystery and terror while purposefully obfuscating the distinctions between the protagonist and antagonist. It has been helpful to investigate ideas like blocking and staging, which are new to us in movies. Thankfully, filming gives us the freedom to stop and

RE-EDITING BLOG FT: DAY 4

We finally chose to incorporate the pictures that were required and comprise the majority of our video into the final product after taking them. We looked over the tutorials of several apps to decide which one to utilize. We looked through programs like Capcut, Video Star, Kinemaster, and Alight Motion. We ultimately decided to utilize Cap Cut since it was the most straightforward and user-friendly editor. Alight Motion required excessive labor to modify a single scene since it was too intricate and focused. We determined that Video Star's requirement for in-app purchases was unnecessary for the video. Kinemaster required more complexity and an unremovable marking. We created a new project with a cap cut and included our captured images. First, "our studio name presents" is written in letters on a black screen in the opening scene. Afterward, a close-up of the shopping cart, an above view, and a close-up of her eyes are shown. Next, we added a second black screen that dis

MUSIC USED IN FT

  The music we want to use as well as the vibe we want to accomplish is eerie. We want our audience to know what our goal as a theme is. We want the description of a menacing tune. Which starts to creep into the scene as the camera moves across a dimly illuminated home. Its sinister notes resonated through the screen. The music, foreshadows the approaching suspense, in our opening scene. A combination of discordant violins and menacing percussion. This can be found for us on YouTube. As the villain moves through the frame each crescendo heightens the suspense and reflects growing uneasiness. Which is a main  Abrupt burst of discordance that peppers the work, reflecting the unpredictable nature of the story to come. We want our audience to be confused. Some might think it unsettling, appearing in the shadows, giving chills down the spine, and hinting at the awful things that are about to happen. The soundtrack intensifies with the scene, drawing the audience farther into the mystery as
